if you have any third-party executables which are working with SAP kernels then those should work with Unicode Kernels.

Note: – If TCPDB contains more than one entry then the system is an MDMP system.

For the SCP system., there will be one code page installed e.g. How to find which code page installed in your system – You can get the information of installed code-pages from the table ‘ TCPDB – Code page used in this database’ via se16. Here focus of this blog on Unicode conversion from single code page Non-Unicode (NUC) SAP systems to Unicode system For more details of MDMP support refer SAP Note 79991 – Multi-Language and Unicode support of SAP applications MDMP will no longer be (fully) supported from SAP ERP 6.0 onwards. MDMP (Multi Display Multi Processing) (Rel 3.1I) – multiple code pages in one system.In SAP there are three types of non-Unicode systems So precisely SAP ECC 6.0 EHP7(based on NW 740) is last supported non-Unicode system (some database restrictions apply *) Additional details can be found at SAP Note 2033243 – End of non-Unicode Support: Release Details “SAP NetWeaver 7.40 is the last release supporting non-Unicode” at SAP UTF-8 & UTF-16 is supported for encoding. Unicode does have different encoding formats like UTF-8, UTF-16 & UTF -32. This is an international encoding standard for use with different languages and scripts, by which each letter, digit, or symbol is assigned a unique numeric value that applies across different platforms and programs. Unicode is superset of existing character sets. But due to globalizations, universal code page is required to support all characters of all languages. In a computer system, one code page can be supported in clean manner.
